GREATEST Neoclassical Shredder (Patreon)

In your opinion, who's the GREATEST Neoclassical Shredder of all time?

Jason Becker, the wheelchair wonder, had a short but game changing career. Some would call him the Stephen Hawking of guitar for his scientific technique and brilliance

Yngwie Malmsteen, hater of donuts, has probably done more to combine the music of Bach with metal than anyone

Marty Friedman of Megadeth played with Jason Becker in Cacophony and went on to integrate classical music and exotic eastern scales in his solo work

Finally, many of you may not be aware of Lord Michael Romeo of Symphony X. He's my personal favorite, utilizing classical music, as well as film music to create a glorious dramatic metal symphony of EVIL

Speaking of Neoclassical Metal....we need to do another music challenge soon. What topic would you like to study and post your riffs on?
